In case you missed it…

Bellevue, WA (July 17) – 21st Century Democrats, one of the largest and best-respected national Democratic campaign organizations, today offered its enthusiastic backing to Democrat Darcy Burner and her campaign for Washington State’s 8th Congressional District, a seat currently held by Iraq surge supporter Rep. Dave Reichert.

The organization involved itself in the campaign early despite being fully aware of published news reports that state Senator Rodney Tom, a real estate agent from Medina, was planning to announce his entry into the race later today as a Democrat.

"We don’t make endorsements lightly, particularly in contested Democratic primaries, but this race was a no-brainer," said Mark Lotwis, 21st Century Democrats’ executive vice-president.

Welcome aboard to the 21st Century Ds. You can help, too.
